Does anybody have any good places to bargain shop in western or central PA? I did not include eastern pa because i rarely travel to the eastern part of state. I'll start by telling some good places i've found.

There are outlet stores in Hershey, PA. I've never shopped there so I can't say how good the bargains are. We also have a nice Sunday flea market in Lewisburg at the Silver Moon Plaza on Route 15 north. There's a furniture outlet there and other stores also. Some great antiques and hard-to-find items.

Grove City has a huge outlet mall. That's just south of 1 80 near the Ohio border. It's huge. Reading Pa has Vanity Fair which has very good prices and some huge outlet stores for clothing. Rockvale in Lancaster is big also. The Crossings in the Poconos has some upscale outlets but I wasn't impressed with it. Franklin Mills in Philly is also big.
